The definition is a URI > identifies a resource. Ergo two different URIs identify two resources. Nonsense, and I'm surprised to hear it. Given two distinct URIs the most you can determine is that you have two distinct URIs. You do not know how many resources are identified, there may be no resources, one, two, or full sets of resources. Do see RFC3986, especially the section on equivalence.
